SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,006, dated May 4,1897. Application filed September 10, 1896- Serial No. 605,433. (Nomodel.)

To (tZZ whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I,LoUIs FREDERICK BRAD- LEY, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of Cedar Rapids, in the county of Linn and Stateof Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inTobacco-Pipes, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in whichsimilar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts wherever foundthroughout the several views.

This invention relates to tobacco-pipes; and the object thereof is toprovide an improved tobacco-pipe which is provided with means forpreventing the saliva and other fluids of g the mouth from entering themain bowl of the pipe, and also for preventing dust, dirt, and othersubstances from passing fromthe bowl of the pipe through the stem intothe mouth.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompan ying drawings form a part, in which Figure 1 is asectional side view of my improved pipe; Fig. 2, a plan view thereof;Fig. 3, a section on line 3 3 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 a section 011 line 44.

In the practice of myinvention I provide a pipe which comprises a bowl Aof the usual form, and said bowl is also provided with-the usual stemB,with which is connected a mouthpiece c, and the stem B is secured tothe bowl near the top thereof, and said stem and mouthpiece maybe of anydesired form. I also provide a removable attachment D, which consists ofthe vertical plate or partition E,which is mounted in a groove F, formedin the side walls of the pipe and in the bottom thereof just in front ofthe opening and the central bore G of the stem, as clearly shown in Fig.1, and said partition-plate E is provided at its top with a flange II,the outer edge of which is circular in form, as shown in Fig. 2, andprovided with a depending rim K, and the flange II when thepartition-plate E is in position rests on the top of the bowl adjacentto the stem, and the bottom of said partition plate E is provided with anumber of small perforations L.

In practice the tobacco is placed in the main part M of the bowl, and asmall chamber O is formed on the opposite side of the partition-plate,and the smoke passes through the perforations L in the partition-plateinto chamber 0, and then through the stem D.

It will be observed that saliva or other fluids from the mouth cannotpass into the main chamber M of the pipe without passing through theperforations L, and these perforations are preferably arranged slightlyabove the bottom of the chamber 0, and itwill also be observed that thedust and dirt from the main portion of the bowl cannot pass into thestem without passing through said perforations L and rising to the endof the bore Gin the chamber 0.

The perforations L are preferably made very small, and the attachment Dmay be removed for cleaning purposes whenever desired.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Iatent- A pipe having a bowl, a stem in connection therewithand engaging said bowl near the top thereof, said bowl having groovesformed in the inner side and near the stem, a partition-plate providedwith perforations therein adapted to move in said grooves, a flangesecured to the upper edge of said partition-plate and having its outeredge segmentally formed, a rim on the said outer edge adapted to fit onthe outer side of said bowl adjacent to said stem all of the said partsbeing combined substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 1st day ofSeptember, 1896.
